Osama bin Laden, the world's most notorious terrorist and occupant of the FBI's Most Wanted List for the last ten years, has had his high-security Pakistan compound recreated within Counter-Strike: Source (and also, been killed).
The map, based on publicly known information about the Abbottabad compound's layout and dimensions, “may be used be used as a base for a bomb or hostage map at a later stage,” says its creator, Fletch. Beyond that, though, it's a great example of games' application as documentary tools for exploring news stories from a fresh angle – not to mention the community's desire to do so. (Or maybe you just want a new place to shoot your friends.) The map's available for free download and exploration from Game Banana (http://www.gamebanana.com/maps/156014).
